What Is the 6-Minute Walk Test?
At Our Clinic, we provide the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)—a reliable, non-invasive test used to assess cardiopulmonary endurance and functional capacity in patients with heart or lung diseases. If you feel breathless, fatigued, or are undergoing treatment for a chronic condition, this test helps evaluate how well your body responds to physical activity.
The 6MWT measures how far you can walk on a flat surface in six minutes, helping doctors evaluate:
- Exercise tolerance
- Oxygen level changes
- Heart and lung response to exertion
- Disease progression and treatment effectiveness
Common Applications
It's commonly used for patients with:
- COPD
- Pulmonary fibrosis / ILD
- Heart failure
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Post-COVID breathlessness
- Pre- and post-lung transplant assessment
What Does the Test Involve?
1. Walking Test
You will be asked to walk at your own pace for six minutes along a measured corridor.
2. Monitoring
Our trained technician will monitor your:
- Distance walked
- Oxygen saturation (SpO₂) with a pulse oximeter
- Heart rate
- Breathlessness or fatigue levels
3. Safety
The test is completely safe, and you can stop at any time if you feel unwell.
